To me the whole amendment to this marriage equality bill is just stupid.
Churches do not have to marry people they don't want to.
Instead of playing politics, the courts can just toss out any lawsuits against churches that won't marry same-sex couples.
I would hate for any same-sex couple to sue because to me it's a waste of time.
The church has a right to discriminate, the state on the other hand should not.
I am sure there are a good number of churches in New Hampshire that will perform a marriage ceremony for a same-sex couple.
New Hampshire doesn't even require seatbelts for adults. Did anyone really think that gays could find relative safety in a gay marriage bill in that state? lol
New Hampshire rejects the Nanny State entitlement revolution, and with good reason.
Gays are not normal at all, they have a chemical imbalance in their brain that makes them want someone of the same sex.
Link.
Oh, don't bother looking for one because it doesn't exist at least not for any scientific research. You will only find speculation. Truth be told, knowledge of the brain does not extend to what the chemical balance is [i]suppose[i] to be, let alone what the results are when there is an imbalance. The whole chemical-imbalance thing.....no proof. What is known that people's behavior changes when the chemical balance is changed but whether or not it is "corrected" is another issue, considering all the side effects from messing with people's brain chemistry.
Skin color and sexual preferences are not even remotely close to the same thing. This very argument is really, really angering the large majority of black Americans.
I think you need to remember that civil rights is not just a black issue, it is an everyone issue regardless of ones skin color, sex or sexual orientation. Just because one is gay, is no reason to deny them the same civil rights. Again, Civil Rights is not a race issue, it is a human issue. Like it or not. The Black Americans to not own civil rights, they are everyones civil rights.
Somehow I can still imagine the image of a small young man tied to a fence post in Wyoming. seems the ignorance continues where this can still happen today. Why does anyone else's experience threaten so many? If Lone wolf is "normal" then I NEVER want to be that! it is ugly. I can see given a change of a few decades would see it normal to shout obscenities at black children as they are escorted to school. Wow pretty ugly.
This is what your post really says, "I don't have a credible response to your logical argument so what I'll do is try putting words in your mouth that I feel more comfortable attacking. That way I don't have to look like a moron when you rip me to shreds on the next post".
*LOL* Is the response above suppose to be an example of a logical argument or does it do what you accuse me of? Hmmmm...
You are the one that wrote the following:

Certainly those words do not condemn anal intercourse generally. Consequently, given your homophobia, it is easy to see why you would condemn "gay anal sex." In specifying the kind of anal sex that is a "perversion," you, whether you meant to or not, absented heterosexual anal sex from the category of perversion. It's still sex between a man and a woman, after all. Of course, it isn't necessarily clear who is penetrating whom (the man or the woman) but let's not get into that. Either is fine as long it is a man and woman involved, right? Whatever floats the heterosexual boat.

I'll have to ask you to refrain from the epithets. You may disagree with me if you like, but use of the h-word is out of place in a civilized society.
Didn't we cover straw men earlier?
Perhaps next time you comment on one of my posts you could direct your thoughts to my comments instead of personally attacking me every time. Once in a while is OK, but you really don't seem to have an honest rebuttal to anything I've said.
Those of us who were paying attention will remember that I said it was a perverted sexual preference. It doesn't threaten me any more that the foot guy's deal. I really don't care what the guy does. If he or she likes to shove someone's revolting 9 1/2 EEE in their mouth, I'll be disgusted but not threatened.
Other than for sheer convenience and intellectual apathy how do you come up with "threatened" from what I wrote? Don't erect straw men because you don't have an answer. It just makes you look like you decided to engage a straw man rather than me because you don't have an answer.
If you weren't threatened by someone else's sexual activities, why call it perverted? It's a way of trying to verbally subjugate someone else's life. Your homophobic panties are showing.
It is normal to be gay and give each and EVERY citizen their rights.
We are progressing. Soon America will truly have "liberty and justice for ALL!"
Well, except for the Catholic priest or Protestant church pastor who will potentially be forced to marry gays against his will or be fined or imprisoned for preaching against the sin of homosexuality.
Since when was it a right to marry someone of your own gender? Here's the link. See what you can come up with.

The problem is that you don't like my rebuttals so you call them straw men and throw out words like "civilized" to insinuate something about my character.
It says a lot about your argument if you can't rebuttal for yourself without using euphemisms and false arguments.
Bottom line: Gay sex is not perverted anymore than straight sex. If you don't like to engage in anal intercourse, then don't. Two consenting adults who do engage in anal intercourse are not taking away your dinner or stealing your bill money so it really becomes none of your business.
